This is the way I did two 6'x9' quilts for a friend from her daughrer's out grown clofhes. I also did aquilt for my daughter and myself this way from mt two grandsons baby clothes. I used various decorative stitches that are on my machine. I do not have any fancy embroidery machine . If you have any questions please send me a pmand I will be happy to help. The best background for the squares is any cotton fabric of your choice. My friend wanted hers super heavy so I used warm and natural for the background and the backing was flannel which I attached last and bound. My daughter's I tied in place of decorative stitches and it is my least favorite but it was my first one and was the only way I could think of at the time, it was a learn as you go project but she is very happy with it.
